Extending ImageGallery Presentation ModeCancel

Hi, I would like to add a description to the lightbox presentation mode. I have added the MetaData, and got the edit screen to take this new data and store it for the images in the library, but now I am at the frontend part and I can not see where I would override/extend the ImageGallery to use my new field and pass it to the Lightbox.

The crux of my question is: How do you override/extend presentation modes?

1. You should map the external template GalleryLightboxList.ascx.
2. Then if you want to control the metakey you added through the control designer - for instance whether to show it on this instance of the control or not you need to map the ControlDesigner - ImageGalleryControlDesigher and modify it. In the desired presentation mode you can add your metakey as TextSettings control.

3. Finally to show your data in the LightBox mode you need to override ImageGalley control and set your metakey. Below is a sample code:

As I see it you are trying to create a new PublicView control (C_Solutions.SiteFinity.ToolBoxControls) if so you should embed the templates and create a designer for your public control ( or use the default one)
